Omniphobic Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Membrane for Desalination of Shale Gas Produced Water by Membrane Distillation.
Microporous membranes fabricated from hydrophobic polymers such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) have been widely used for membrane distillation (MD). However, hydrophobic MD membranes are prone to wetting by low surface tension substances, thereby limiting their use in treating challenging industrial wastewaters, such as shale gas produced water. In this study, we present a facile and scalabl...
متن کاملDegradation of Polypropylene Membranes Applied in Membrane Distillation Crystallizer
The studies on the resistance to degradation of capillary polypropylene membranes assembled in a membrane crystallizer were performed. The supersaturation state of salt was achieved by evaporation of water from the NaCl saturated solutions using membrane distillation process. A high feed temperature (363 K) was used in order to enhance the degradation effects and to shorten the test times. Salt...
متن کاملFabrication of Electrospun Nanofibrous Membranes for Membrane Distillation Application
Nanofibrous membranes of matrimide were successfully fabricated using electrospinning technique under optimized conditions. Nanofibrous membranes were found to be highly hydrophobic with high water contact angle of 130°. FESEM and pore size distribution analysis revealed the big pore size structure of electrospun membranes even greater than 2μm and the pore size distribution is found to be narr...
متن کاملMetal–Organic Framework-Functionalized Alumina Membranes for Vacuum Membrane Distillation
Nature-mimetic hydrophobic membranes with high wetting resistance have been designed for seawater desalination via vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) in this study. This is achieved through molecular engineering of metal–organic framework (MOF)-functionalized alumina surfaces. A two-step synthetic strategy was invented to design the hydrophobic membranes: (1) to intergrow MOF crystals on the al...
متن کاملNanophotonics-enabled solar membrane distillation for off-grid water purification.
With more than a billion people lacking accessible drinking water, there is a critical need to convert nonpotable sources such as seawater to water suitable for human use. However, energy requirements of desalination plants account for half their operating costs, so alternative, lower energy approaches are equally critical. Membrane distillation (MD) has shown potential due to its low operating...
